NYT Connections Answers for May 19, 2025

Were you able to figure out all the words? If not, don’t worry, here are the answers for NYT Connections #708.

• 🟨 SPACES ON A MONOPOLY BOARD: Avenue, Chance, Railroad, Utility
• 🟩 FUNDRAISING EVENT: Ball, Benefit, Function, Gala
• 🟦 FEATURES OF A TOOTHED WHALE: Blubber, Flipper, Fluke, Melon
• 🟪 HOMOPHONES OF PARTS OF THE FOOT: Bawl, Heal, Soul, Tow

Connections today started off quite simple for me. Surprisingly enough, I solved the Green category first, and then quickly figured out the Yellow category as well.

After that, however, I was completely and utterly stumped. I had no idea that Fluke, and Melon were parts of a Toothed Whale. Come to think of it, I had no idea there was such a thing as a Toothed Whale.

To add insult to injury, the Purple category today was just such a curveball I don’t think I could have guessed it at all.
